Vulnerability Overview

The Quiz and Survey Master plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing filename sanitization in the qsm_upload_image_fd_question() function in versions up to, and including, 7.0.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected sites server using a double extension attack method which may make remote code execution possible on sites with a configuration that parse the first extension of a file. This is due to an incomplete fix of CVE-2020-35949.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 7.0.2, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type) The product allows the upload or transfer of dangerous file types that are automatically processed within its environment.
